Neil Bolton

Chief Executive Officer

Neil Bolton has been an IT professional, and entrepreneur, a recruiter and a manager of recruiters for most of his business life. Five years ago he formed Recruitment Systems Pty. Limited, with the aim of raising the performance of recruiters - and of the recruitment industry as a whole - by the use of good systems.

He can show that good technology, combined with good management, training and mentoring, can contribute immense amounts to an organisation's bottom line.

He is passionate about the recruitment industry, and believes that recruiters are extremely privileged to be able to assist so many people at times in their lives when they can be very vulnerable. His mission - and that of Recruitment Systems - is to improve the recruitment process across the board to benefit our clients, our candidates and the industry as a whole.

Chief Technical Officer

Slava Barouline is Recruitment Systems' Technical Director and Head Software Architect, and is the original software developer of the CRIS system.

Slava has worked as a programmer, designer and systems architect in multiple information technology projects since his graduation in 1994 from Novosibirsk State University, the leading IT University in Russia.

During three years of post-graduate study Slava worked in the satellite imaging and image processing field using various GIS systems.

While working in these high technology processing fields Slava mastered his programming skills and participated in several different technology projects, including database and web application development, implementation of e-commerce solutions, and development of sophisticated database reporting tools.

Slava came to Australia in 1999 to work for Candle Australia Ltd (ASX: CND) and during his 1.5 years at Candle created a revolutionary new recruitment system called CRIS. The CRIS system resulted in major cost and efficiency improvements at Candle, was responsible for large profit improvements, and was soon implemented in all of Candle's offices across Australia and New Zealand.

In 2001 Slava left Candle to help establish Recruitment Systems Pty Limited, where CRIS is marketed under licence from Candle. Heading Recruitment Systems' technology development team, Slava continues to work on the evolution of the CRIS product today.
